ROBOTS AND MONSTERS streaming new EP in full

As New Jersey-based hardcore/thrash act ROBOTS AND MONSTERS prepares for the independent release of their Nothing To Fear Nothing To Fight EP this Friday, Metal Insider magazine is streaming the entire record early. Check it out below.

With its roots tracing to bands including Mucky Pup, The Bloodhound Gang, and more, ROBOTS AND MONSTERS owns a sound that deftly combines the commanding crunch of metal with the groove, punch, and emotion of hardcore and post-hardcore, a trait which finds the band comfortably sharing bills populated with any type of aggressive music. Their upcoming Nothing To Fear Nothing To Fight EP follows a concept about battling your own mind, the theme backed by high-energy metal and dosed with old-school hardcore. The seven-song storyline was recorded at Portrait Recording Studios with engineer John Ferrara, mastered by Chris Badami, and features art by bassist Bill Bergmann.

Alongside an interview with ROBOTS AND MONSTERS on the new EP, the New Jersey metal scene, and more, Metal Insider is streaming Nothing To Fear Nothing To Fight.
